Having just returned from the Quota Treffen, I got some safety info.
The original V85TT centre stand seems to have problems, there were cases where it fell off during riding and sofar luckily there was no accident.
Apparently the srcews that hold it in the Nylocks are a bit short and can vibrate out.
The guys from the Guzzi Enduro Forum in conjunction with some dealers are leaning onto Moto Guzzi for a recall!
Has this happened yet as I pointed out as an engineer its usually not good practice to not have a couple of threads through the mounting nut as the centre stand bolt leaves a few threads showing. My dealer checked some other V85s and they were the same. Apparently the threadlock is supposed to hold them in (Threadlock isnt a substitute for full contact between a bolt and a nut - bad engineering for sure here).
My centre stand is held by two shallow nuts (shallow i guess to clear the springs) and 1 turn of thread shows.
They have rounded tops and look like ‘Distorted thread lock nuts’ if they are that is a good choice as those are “prevailing torque locknuts” like nylocs but more compact
i just had a look at mine. It’s a 2026 E5+ bike.
The nuts are all metal self locking type. I guess they didn’t use nyloc due to the proximity of the exhaust catalyst (it may not melt the nyloc inserts but certanly make them soft). The bolts finish flush with the outer face of the nut. I’d say that’s fine. The reason for full nut plus two threads is simply a rule of thumb to give a bit extra when calculating bolt lengths. It also allows for when the purchasing dept order the wrong thickness washers (as often happens). Better over length than under length. The extra length of bolt out the back of the nut is providing no strength, especially in a case like this where the bolt is just acting in shear and the nut is only lightly pinched.
